If you are done with the package installation your package repository should look like this

1. Host labels
## 4. Host labels
Some parts of the NVDCT are dependent on the presence of certain host labels:
- `nvdct/routing_capable:yes` for the IPv4 topology and `--pre-fetch` option
- `nvdct/has_cdp_neighbours:yes` for the `--pre-fetch` option
- `nvdct/has_lldp_neighbours:yes` for the `--pre-fetch` option

After installing the HW/SW inventory plugins, you must therefore perform rediscovery of host labels.

Depending on the host data, the host labels should then be found on the host.

1. Check the HW/SW inventory
## 5. Check the HW/SW inventory
Run the HW/SW inventory at least once for each host and then check whether the required data has been found. If so, proceed to the next step. If your device has CDP neighbors, you should see a table like the table for LLDP.

1. Modify the user settings for NVDCT
## 6. Modify the user settings for NVDCT
Before you create the topology data, take a look at `~/local/bin/nvdct/conf/nvdct.toml`. Here you can fine tune some aspects of the topology creation. Before you do this, please create a copy of the nvdct.toml file (e.g. my_nvdct.toml) and only change the copy. By working with a copy of the `nvdct.toml` file, you ensure that your changes will survive the next update of the `nvdct.mkp`. For the CDP/LLDP topologies add at least your seed devices - from where NVDCT will start to create the topology - in the `SEED_DEVICES` section.

```
# list of (additional to -s/--seed-devices) seed devices
SEED_DEVICES = [
"DEVICE01",
"DEVICE02",
"DEVICE03",
]
```
In the [SETTINGS] section enable the layers you want to create. By default NVDCT will onyl create the CDP layer.
